Another little secret spot not often mentioned by the locals. I recommend starting your walk from either the Mt Wellington War Memorial Reserve or a bit further along at the Point England Reserve where there is parking, toilets etc. There is a track you can follow which is usually quiet relative to the suburban/metropolis it borders. There are plenty of small tracks down to the estuary and often people fishing along the edge. Once you get to Tahuna Torea there are some short bush walks with lots of birds and ponds. Walk to the other side of the spit then head out along the sandy beach. Usually there are few people and feel like you've departed Auckland for a wee while. Depending on which way the wind is blowing you can often get a crystal calm bit of sea to swim in one or other side of the spit. Its also not a bad place to cast a line for fishing.
